Empire Bonus - WTF?

[moondogg]

Umm, OK. I guess you guys take the whole affiliate thing pretty seriously. I was trying to avoid spam.

If they are breaking their affiliate agreements, then they are doing something wrong. If they are operating within the affiliate agreements, then they have found a way to skim money from a system without breaking the rules. More power to them. Doesn't sounds all that much different than what pro players do to fish in a poker game. Does the pro explain to the fish that he is mathematically guaranteed to take his money eventually? Someone else's ignorance is my bliss. If someone cuts me a bonus and makes some money in the process, that's fine; it I could have gotten more by not going through the affiliate, that's my fault for not exercising due diligence and researching the market.
I think the idea that affilates are sucking money out of the poker system are grave exaggerations, much like the whole "rakes are too high, we're getting screwed!" chants.
I am not an affilate, nor do I have plans to be, but I am a shamless capitalist and will go out of my way to get my hands on every dollar I can while operating within the rules of the system. God bless America.
